Comment: Still looking ... but ... I found out in an initial search that this guy already would have a good DYK! Apparently, Mark E. Smith of the The Fall (band) included Swallow's name in the lyrics of "A Lot in a Name" appearing on his solo Post Nearly Man album (1998). How's that for AfD trivia?

To summarize my earlier search: You CAN find sources about Swallow. However, there are a few caveats to the typical "Google search". He has a common name and so you would need to qualify his name with other relevant search terms, such as "presenter" or "Anglia". He did his TV work in the era of the late 1980s and 1990s, which is largely unrecorded by the Internet, and he was a regional TV presenter from the UK. He has also been involved in several TV production companies, such as East Films and One London Media. So you can find sources about him, but I'm not sure what the statement of notability would be. Has anybody from the UK heard of him? Crtew (talk) 10:10, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Notability is hard for producers, but I don't see any awards or recognition to meet GNG or N. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 01:13, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - While adequate sourcing exists on this person, it doesn't add up to meet WP:ANYBIO guidelines. Crtew (talk) 14:32, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
